I have this bug what to do

One Reported solution:
Turn off Steam’s “beta participation” for the Steam client.

did not help still no usa

hiii , i was playing usa civ a lot , now i cant its locked for me idk y , i asked other people some of them have same problem , can u fix it fast pls . ty

Same problem. Hope they fix it soon.

Bonsoir, pareil que d’autres gens, j’ai le dlc USA qui n’est plus effectif, j’ai tenté la vérification de l’intégrité des fichiers, déco reco de steam (j’ai la versions steam) et bien sûr réinstaller le jeu, mais je n’ai toujours pas le dlc activé, si vous avez des conseils je suis preneur.

I’m going to quote this here :slight_smile:

<@&585901762448195588> We are aware some users are locked out of the USA DLC. We apologize for this inconvenience and our team is working on it. For the time being, players have seen success in disabling the Steam beta build in their settings, which has fixed this issue for them. Please try that and we’ll let players know when a fix is available.

Greetings Maxy

Merci pour le conseil, malheureusement je n’ai pas de version beta d’activé, mais en tout cas quelque part ça me rassure de ne pas être le seul à avoir ce souci.

Me pasó lo mismo. Compre el juego justo en descuento, me salia la lista completita de civs, pero hace 2 días intente usar los estadounideneses… y me salió que no estaban disponibles, que tenía que comprar el DLC.

En inglés:
Two days ago I discovered that I cant play as USA suppossedlly because I didn´t have the DLC, but I HAVE THE DLC, purchased and even installed. Screenshot:
